First Live Looping Beat with the Roland FA-06

After geting to grips with the Casio XW-G1 I  started searching for a workstation that could do live looping all by itself with no computer or loop pedal. The casio was close to perfect but limited sample time meant that I had to scarifice the bit depth for length of sampling and couldn't get a shiny stereo groove that lasted 8 bars.
The Roland FA-06 has the solution to all of the shortcomings from the Casio.
Here's what I like about it:
1. The click can be heard through an extra sub-out channel which the audience can't hear.
2. All parts can be quantized but the option to toggle between on and off is easily accessible.
3. The sounds can be set up on different tracks before you start recording so you don't have to key-in the tone that you want.
4. You can change the levels of the tracks via the mixer.
5. You can mute and un-mute tracks once they are in.
And all this can happen without pressing stop.
Great stuff.
It's a bit too soon to say what I don't like - time will tell.
Thanks for watching.
Peace!
